BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE Field of the Disclosure

The disclosure relates to a field of new energy (renewable energy)technology, and in particular to a photovoltaic-photothermal reactioncomplementary full-spectrum solar utilization system.

Description of the Related Art

In a solar photovoltaic utilization technology, a portion of solarenergy in certain wavebands is converted into electricity by means ofphotovoltaic effect of solar photovoltaic cell with the remaining solarenergy being not effectively used. The power generation efficiency ofcurrent mass-produced solar photovoltaic cells is about 15%-25%, whichmeans that more than 75% of the sunlight cannot be used and the fullspectrum utilization efficiency of solar energy is low. Also, sincelarge-scale electricity storage technology is far from mature, the solarphotovoltaic utilization technology can only be used under sunlight, butis unable to supply power in a stand-alone, stable and all-weathermanner.

In the solar photothermal power generation technology, solar energy isfirstly converted into thermal energy and then converted into electricenergy. In particular, the sunlight is concentrated to a geometric focusby a regular curved surface (such as parabolic mirror) so as to obtain ahigh temperature, and then converted into electric energy by heatengines or thermoelectric generators. In this technology, since the heatcollection process directly converts high energy-level full spectrumsolar energy into low energy-level thermal energy, and since that powergeneration efficiency of thermal energy is constrained by Carnotefficiency, and there are many other factors such as intermediate steps,the full spectrum utilization efficiency of solar energy is low.

In the solar photovoltaic-photothermal combined power generationtechnology, a portion of the solar energy is utilized by photovoltaiccells, and another portion of the solar energy is utilized in the formof heat to generate electricity. At present, there are two main ways toimplement this technology. One of the two main ways is called as“thermal coupling” mode. In the “thermal coupling” mode, all thesunlight is firstly projected to the photovoltaic cell. The fullspectrum solar energy is partially converted into electric energy andthe rest is converted into low energy-level waveband thermal energy. Thethermal energy is then converted into electric energy by heat engine orthermoelectric material. The other way is called the “thermaldecoupling” mode. In the “thermal decoupling” mode, according toresponsive characteristics of the photovoltaic cells and thephotothermal utilization to the spectrum, the entire solar spectrum isdivided into two wavelength ranges by a frequency splitter. Solar energyin certain wavebands is utilized by the photovoltaic cells such that aportion of the solar energy in certain wavebands is converted intoelectric energy and such that another portion is converted into thermalenergy. Solar energy in remaining wavebands is converted into thethermal energy which can also be converted into electric energy by heatengines or thermoelectric generators.

In the process of implementing the present disclosure, the applicantshave found that the above prior art has the following problems inconverting solar energy into electric energy, respectively:

(1) the mass-produced photovoltaic cells can only convert a portion ofshort-wave solar energy into electric energy, and the rest of theshort-wave solar energy and long-wave solar energy is not used such thatthe full spectrum utilization efficiency is low;

(2) as the usage of the solar photovoltaic power generation system islimited during daytime, power supply stability of the system is poor,and large-scale electricity storage technology associated withphotovoltaic power generation is far from mature, thus singlephotovoltaic power generation is difficult to meet the requirements fora stable power supply or supplying power at night;

(3) with the photothermal technology, in the process of light-to-heatconversion, the full spectrum solar energy is directly converted intolow energy-level thermal energy such that in this process loss of theavailable energy (i.e. maximum useful work extractable from the totalenergy) is large, resulting in a low utilization efficiency of fullspectrum solar energy;

(4) in the solar photovoltaic-photothermal technology using a frequencysplitter, although a cascaded utilization for the short-wavelength andlong-wavelength solar energy is achieved by the frequency splitter, thefrequency splitter increases the optical loss of the system at the sametime. Production of the frequency splitter is currently difficult andcostly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure provides a photovoltaic-photothermal reactioncomplementary full-spectrum solar utilization system so as to improvethe utilization efficiency and practicability of solar energy.

The photovoltaic-photothermal reaction complementary full-spectrum solarutilization system according to the present disclosure has the followingadvantageous effects:

(1) When the photovoltaic cell is opaque, a portion of theshort-wavelength solar energy is converted into electric energy, and therest of the short-wavelength and long-wavelength solar energy areconverted into waveband residual heat. The residual heat is absorbedduring the chemical reaction and converted into high energy-levelchemical energy. Compared with a case in which the waveband residualheat is utilized by heat engine or thermoelectric material, thefull-spectrum solar utilization efficiency of the system is higher.

(2) When the photovoltaic cell is partially transmissive, the solarenergy is concentrated to the surface of the photovoltaic cell by thefull spectrum concentrating device. The transmissive photovoltaic cellabsorbs the short-wavelength solar energy (such as 300 to 1000 nm) andconverts a portion of the short-wavelength solar energy into electricenergy. The short-wavelength solar energy that is not converted intoelectric energy is absorbed by the reactants and finally converted intochemical energy. The long-wavelength solar energy (such as 1000 to 4000nm) is transmitted through the photovoltaic cell and continues to betransmitted in the form of light. Then, a light-to-heat-to-fuel chemicalenergy conversion is achieved in the photothermal reactor. This systemcan convert the low energy-level waveband residual heat and thelong-wavelength solar energy into the high energy-level chemical energywhile ensuring the high operating efficiency of the photovoltaic cell atlow temperature without the use of a frequency splitter, achieving astep utilization of full spectrum solar energy.

(3) The efficiency of this system is higher by at least 8 percentagepoints than that of the single photovoltaic cell system.

The disclosure mainly relates to the utilization of full spectrum solarenergy. With the photovoltaic-photothermal-thermochemical comprehensivecomplementary method, the solar energy is firstly utilized by thephotovoltaic cell to generate electric energy. The waveband residualheat from the photovoltaic cell and the solar energy transmitted throughthe photovoltaic cell is absorbed by an endothermic chemical reactionand converted into a high energy-level chemical energy (fuel), therebygreatly improving the utilization efficiency of solar energy.

The disclosure will be described below in connection with particularembodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings so as toclarify the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the presentapplication.

Example One: Photovoltaic-Photothermal Reaction ComplementaryFull-Spectrum Solar Utilization System

The first exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides aphotovoltaic-photothermal reaction complementary full-spectrum solarutilization system based on opaque photovoltaic cell.

FIG. 1 is a structural schematic of a photovoltaic-photothermal reactioncomplementary full-spectrum solar utilization system based on an opaquephotovoltaic cell according to the first embodiment of the presentinvention. As shown in FIG. 1, the full-spectrum solar utilizationsystem in the present embodiment includes a full spectrum concentratingdevice 10, an opaque photovoltaic cell 20 a, a waveband thermal reactor30, and a gas-steam combined cycle power generation system 60.

In this embodiment, the reactant is methanol, and the endothermicchemical reaction is a methanol decomposition reaction. The fullspectrum concentrating device 10 concentrates the full spectrum sunlightto an upper surface of the photovoltaic cell 20 a. The full spectrumsunlight is absorbed by the photovoltaic cell 20 a. A portion of thesunlight is converted into electric energy and the rest of the sunlightis converted into thermal energy. The thermal energy is utilized by thewaveband thermal reactor 30 to preheat methanol and carry outdecomposition of methanol. The gas mixture resulting from thedecomposition reaction serves as combustion fuel for the gas-steamcombined cycle power generation system 60 to generate electricity.

The respective components of the full-spectrum solar utilization systemin the present embodiment will be described in detail below.

It should be noted that although the methanol decomposition reaction isemployed in the present embodiment as a reaction that converts the solarenergy into chemical energy, in fact, an endothermic chemical reactionbetween other fluids or between fluid and solid, such as dimethyl etherdecomposition, methanol water steam reforming, dimethyl ether watersteam reforming, ethanol water steam reforming, methane water steamreforming, methane carbon dioxide reforming, water decomposition, andcarbon dioxide decomposition, can be applied to the full-spectrum solarutilization system of the disclosure. For example,

(1) the reactant is methanol, and the endothermic chemical reaction is amethanol decomposition reaction;

(2) the reactant is dimethyl ether, and the endothermic chemicalreaction is a dimethyl ether decomposition reaction;

(3) the reactants are methanol and steam, and the endothermic chemicalreaction is a methanol water steam reforming reaction;

(4) the reactants are dimethyl ether and steam, and the endothermicchemical reaction is a dimethyl ether water steam reforming reaction;

(5) the reactants are ethanol and steam, and the endothermic chemicalreaction is an ethanol water steam reforming reaction;

(6) the reactants are methane and steam, and the endothermic chemicalreaction is a methane steam water reforming reaction;

(7) the reactants are methane and carbon dioxide, and the endothermicchemical reaction is a methane carbon dioxide reforming reaction;

(8) the reactant is steam, and the endothermic reaction is a waterdecomposition reaction;

(9) the reactant is carbon dioxide, and the endothermic reaction is acarbon dioxide decomposition reaction.

A methanol flow channel and a reaction chamber are provided inside thewaveband thermal reactor 30, and methanol is inputted through an inletof the methanol flow channel. Further, the photovoltaic cell 20 a is anopaque photovoltaic cell. A lower surface of the photovoltaic cell 20 ais attached to an upper surface of the waveband thermal reactor 30 suchthat they are brought into close contact to intensify heat exchange andsuch that methanol decomposition reaction takes place in the reactionchamber by the aid of the heat generated by the sunlight that is notconverted into electric energy.

The full spectrum concentrating device 10 concentrates the full spectrumsunlight to the upper surface of the photovoltaic cell 20 a. The presentdisclosure is not intended to be limited to a specific type of fullspectrum concentrating device. It can be understood that all of thepresently known full spectrum concentrating devices can be used in thesystem, including but not limited to, a trough solar concentratingdevice, a Fresnel solar concentrating device, a compound parabolic solarconcentrating device, a tower solar concentrating device, or a discsolar concentrating device.

In this embodiment, the product obtained after the methanoldecomposition reaction is directly used as the fuel of the gas-steamcombined cycle power generation system 60. In fact, the methanol can beseparated and purified after the decomposition reaction to obtainmethanol recovered from the gas mixture. Then the recovered methanol isused as the fuel of the gas-steam combined cycle power generation system60. The gas-steam combined cycle power generation system 60 may alsoinclude a fuel storage device such that when the sunlight is sufficient,the gas-steam combined cycle power generation system 60 may store aportion of the decomposition product that can be used for combustion andpower generation when the sunlight is insufficient or when there is nosunlight, realizing a stable and all-weather power supply capability.The gas-steam combined cycle power generation system 60 is a power plantwell known in the art, and will not be described in detail herein.

It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the gas-steamcombined cycle power generation system is selected as a consumer of thechemical reaction product. The use of the product includes but is notlimited to, the fuel of other power generation system (such as aninternal combustion engine power generation system, a fuel cell powergeneration system), raw material for chemical processes, industrialfuel, domestic fuel, raw materials for medical purposes.

It can be seen from the above description that, while the solar energyis converted into electric energy by virtue of thephotovoltaic-photothermal reaction complementary full-spectrum solarutilization system based on opaque photovoltaic cell according to thepresent embodiment, the waveband residual heat generated by theunconverted solar energy is absorbed by the chemical reaction andconverted into high energy-level chemical energy. Compared with a casein which the residual heat is utilized by heat engines or thermoelectricgenerators, more benefits are obtained and the utilization efficiency ishigher.

Example Two: Transmissive Photovoltaic-Photothermal ReactionComplementary Full-Spectrum Solar Utilization System

The second exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides atransmissive photovoltaic-photothermal reaction complementaryfull-spectrum solar utilization system based on transmissivephotovoltaic cell. As shown in FIG. 2, this embodiment differs from thefirst embodiment in the reactants, the chemical reaction used, thetransmissive photovoltaic cell 22 b and the newly added wavebandphotothermal reactor 40.

In this embodiment, the reactants used are methanol and steam, and thechemical reaction is a methanol water steam reforming reaction.

In the present embodiment, the transmissive photovoltaic cell 20 b has alight transmittance of more than 0 and less than 1. The transmissivephotovoltaic cell 20 b can only absorb a portion of the availableshort-wave solar energy (such as 300 nm to 1000 nm). Long-wave solarenergy (such as 1000 nm to 4000 nm) is transmitted through thephotovoltaic cell 20 b and continues to be transmitted in the form oflight wave so that the waveband of solar energy that cannot be utilizedby the photovoltaic cell is prevented from being converted into a lowenergy-level thermal energy. A low operating temperature of photovoltaiccell is ensured while the high energy-level chemical energy can beobtained without the use of frequency splitter, providing a good conceptfor the full spectrum solar photovoltaic photothermal comprehensiveutilization.

Referring to FIG. 2, the waveband photothermal reactor 40 is disposed ata location where a designated waveband of sunlight can be received andtransmitted through the waveband thermal reactor 30. The inlet of thewaveband photothermal reactor 40 is connected to the outlet of the rawmaterial flow channel of the waveband thermal reactor 30 and an outletthereof is connected to a product storage tank.

It should be noted that the waveband thermal reactor 30 and the wavebandphotothermal reactor 40 are not in contact with each other in order toavoid solid heat transfer therebetween. The separation distance dependson the size of the system. Further, a vacuum isolation technique may beemployed between the waveband thermal reactor 30 and the wavebandphotothermal reactor 40 to mitigate convective heat transfertherebetween.

At the same time, it should be noted that the waveband thermal reactorcan only perform a preheating of the raw materials at a low temperatureinside the reactor 30. The preheating of the raw material at a hightemperature and chemical reaction of the raw materials are carried outin the waveband photothermal reactor 40. Thus, the chemical reactiontemperature will be no longer limited by the operating temperature ofthe photovoltaic cell and the chemical reaction can be extensivelychosen.

In the present embodiment, the sunlight is concentrated to a surface ofthe transmissive photovoltaic cell 20 b by the full spectrumconcentrating device 10. The short-wavelength sunlight is absorbed bythe transmissive photovoltaic cell 20 b. A portion of theshort-wavelength sunlight is converted into electric energy, and theremaining portion is converted into a waveband residual heat. Theresidual heat is used by the waveband thermal reactor 30 to preheatmethanol and steam. The long-wavelength sunlight is transmitted throughthe transmissive photovoltaic cell 20 b and the waveband thermal reactor30 and concentrated to the waveband photothermal reactor 40. Themethanol and the water undergo a reforming reaction in the wavebandphotothermal reactor 40 to produce hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbondioxide. The short-wavelength residual heat and the long-wavelengthsolar energy are converted into a high energy-level chemical energystored in hydrogen and carbon monoxide (fuel). The hydrogen and thecarbon monoxide are separated and purified as the final products.

For the purpose of brief explanation, any description on the technicalfeature in the first embodiment described above that is appropriate forthe second embodiment will be incorporated herein and the similardescription will not be repeated.

Example Three: Reflective Photovoltaic-Photothermal ReactionComplementary Full-Spectrum Solar Utilization System

For the full-spectrum solar utilization system in the second embodiment,since the sunlight is required to be transmitted through the wavebandthermal reactor 30, the waveband thermal reactor 30 should betransmissive for such waveband sunlight, decreasing the selection rangeof the waveband thermal reactor 30 and of the fluid therein. If areflective film is provided between the transmissive photovoltaic cell20 b and the waveband thermal reactor 30, as described in the presentembodiment, the above-described problem can be avoided.

The third exemplary embodiment of the present invention further providesa reflective photovoltaic-photothermal reaction complementaryfull-spectrum solar utilization system based on transmissivephotovoltaic cell. As shown in FIG. 3, the present embodiment differsfrom the second embodiment in that a reflective film 50 is providedbetween the transmissive photovoltaic cell 20 b and the waveband-shapedthermal reactor 30. The sunlight transmitted through the photovoltaiccell 20 b is reflected by the reflective film 50, transmitted throughthe photovoltaic cell 20 b again and concentrated to the wavebandphotothermal reactor 40.

In the present embodiment, a surface of the reflective film 50 thatfaces towards the sunlight is a flat surface. In fact, the surface ofthe reflective film 50 that faces the sunlight may be a flat surface, acurved surface, or a combination thereof.

In this embodiment, an angle at which the reflecting film 50 is inclinedwith respect to an incident direction of the sunlight is adjustable soas to achieve the purpose of adjusting the optical path. In particular,the sunlight between the full spectrum concentrating device 10 and thetransmissive photovoltaic cell 20 b is prevented from being blocked bythe waveband photothermal reactor 40.

It can be seen that the reflective photovoltaic-photothermal reactioncomplementary full-spectrum solar utilization system according to thepresent embodiment can prevent the sunlight from being transmittedthrough the transmissive waveband thermal reactor 30, so that the designof the waveband thermal reactor 30 is more flexible and so that thechemical reaction applicable in the system is more extensive.
